Scientists have discovered that erucamide, a plant-produced fatty acid amide, disrupts the function of the bacterial injectosome—a syringe-like nanomachine that some pathogenic bacteria use to help ...
As fungi resistant to traditional treatments continue to spread around the globe, researchers from China Pharmaceutical University in Nanjing have identified a bacterial compound that can kill ...
Aquelyst has introduced Duo Equine, a molecular-level environmental solution aimed at tackling odor, microbes, and residual ...
Just as Smita Gopinath, Ph.D., was setting up her microbiology and immunology lab at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the COVID-19 pandemic struck and shut things down. With no lab space or ...
Lignin is abundant and full of valuable carbons, but microbes struggle to digest it efficiently because of its complex structure and high energy cost. For years, scientists have marveled at bacteria’s ...
A large study has revealed that dozens of widely used chemicals can damage beneficial gut bacteria. Many of these substances, ...
With help from artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have designed novel antibiotics that can combat two hard-to-treat infections: drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and multi-drug-resistant ...
An antibiotic primarily used in veterinary medicine was found to turn the gut into a factory that pumps out life-extending compounds. The finding could change the way we think about the development of ...
Promoting pyroptosis-an inflammatory form of programmed cell death-has become a promising treatment strategy for cancer. In research published in The FASEB Journal, investigators purified a long-chain ...
